About this book
"Frühling : Der deutsche Lenz und was er blühn und werden läßt" by Ernst Weber et al. is an anthology of German poetry and prose written in the early 20th century. Gathered for youth and general readers, it celebrates the German spring in songs, poems, a fairy tale, and short prose pieces by both classic and folk voices. Expect nature’s awakening—birds, blossoms, winds, rains, and the turn from April to May—alongside gentle calls to hope, courage, and renewal. The opening of the collection moves from a heralding prelude into a parade of spring scenes: late-winter chill, the first violets and snowdrops, and brief urban and rural moments brightened by a single flower. Short narratives and lyrics alternate—an old man’s violet bouquet stirring memories before he gifts it to his daughter, the exuberant dawn-walk that watches the sun “conquer” the mountains, and a series of bird and weather pieces (lark, stork, cuckoo; March storms, April showers) marking the season’s advance. Classic and folk tones mingle, from tender consolations and brave exhortations to the inclusion of Sleeping Beauty as an emblem of long sleep and awakening. The sequence trends from pre-spring longing to Easter light and on toward May, sketching a clear arc of nature’s and the heart’s revival. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
